COURSE CO-ORDINATOR - JADE FEARNLEY

Learning Improv stands out to me as my happiest time in performance tuition. My mind flits back to all the moments that where poignant; worrying about looking silly, stopping worrying, laughing at others, making others laugh, and eventually letting go of enough anxiety to enjoy myself!

Win or lose, I just wanted my improv to be fun.

10 years later, here we are. My Improv education has taken me overseas, I've done feature length Musicals and Horror Stories and currently run my own Improv Murder Mystery in Manchester. So if you are looking to acquire a whole new set of performance techniques, build worlds with your imagination and find a way to bottle your funny. Let us show you where to start! Whilst also how to proceed being the best improviser you can be, in whatever capacity you want to use the skills.

We look forward to sharing a stage with you!

"Her classes are not only hilarious and tonnes of fun - at the heart of each lesson Jade's passion for improv is evident and infectious. She's not just one of our best improv performers in the North, she's also one of our best improv teachers."
